  finally got the bike i ordered in july. it's a steel ribble endurance 725 with 105. put purple pedals on to see if the color scheme worked as i'm waiting on a wheelset with hed belgium+ rims and purple hope hubs. hoping it'll be around 20 pounds with the carbon bars/seatpost and lighter wheels/tires/saddle

Went and rode the hard water today. Almost made it on to Lake Winnipeg but the ice at the mouth sketched me out so I turned back before I ended up taking a swim in the middle of nowhere. Put the flats back on and ditched the dropper. No reason for those today and I kinda want my Baffin boots for middle of nowhere ice riding.

EvilJoven posted:45nrth Wolvhammer BOA. They normally retail for $400 Canadian but I didn't pay nearly that much. I'm hoping that the covid bike boom turns into a huge crop of new riders that want gear like this. It'd maybe open up the market and drive prices down and make it more accessible to everyone. 2020 was the year that supply eventually got drained. 2021 will be the year that the supply chain didn't recover...those backorder dates I'm seeing for all kinds of components are probably realistic. I also don't think a bike boom would have a significant impact on niche markets like freezing cold weather cycling shoes.

Everything's plowed, salted or melted aside from the bike path bridges, which I had to walk across because they were still ice. And then towards the middle of the trail, coming around a turn on a downhill there's this in front of me, which is all solid ice.  Wear a helmet because mine got a nice smack on the ice yesterday.

For real. Also throw out your helmet and buy a new one. When it comes to crashing and hitting your head they're all one and done.

This is why I wear a ski helmet without EPS foam when playing around on ice

Riding a bike with studded tires on glare ice is kinda like driving an early 911. It's super fun as long as you remember to slow down before turning in. Don't and you become a great example of some of the more interesting properties of physics.

I was afraid of making permanent changes since I have no idea what I'm doing, but it's way past time to chop the steerer. It was much easier than I expected! All I needed was a $20 tube cutter from the hardware store. I drove the star nut with a socket and a hammer.

Does one of those actuate the quick release? Like the design is to have the wheel loose while riding and changing gears?  E: backpedal while shifting?

I saw one of these in action at the bike museum in fairfax, CA. The way the docent explained it, the wheel crawls up and down the teeth in the dropout and it's not loose like a quick release.

About as high/far as I was willing to go, I had already had to go into the gravel off the side of the pavement to avoid ice. This area got hit by multiple fires this fall, it is always interesting to take a trip through here to see how much nature fucks up this road. Its been permanently closed to cars for 40 years.
